- Rankings and sustainability in Portuguese higher education institutions: a descriptive analysisPublication . Aleixo, Ana Marta; Leal, Susana; Leal Filho, Walter; Mendes, Susana; Azeiteiro, UlissesThe issue of ranking in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) has produced a growing body of literature at an international level that is focused on metaanalysis. However, there is still comparably little discussion on the subject of Higher Education (HE) in Portugal. This paper strives to fill this gap. This research was conducted using the Portuguese public HEIs websites and presents a critical review of HEIs rankings in Portugal. These are the types of Higher Education Institution (HEI) rankings that are concerned with the promotion of sustainable development rankings. The links between rankings and institutional commitment, advanced sustainability or the promotion of a positive image are discussed. This work results in the preliminary discussion of a proposal for an alternative ranking for Sustainable Development (SD) in HEIs. An alternative ranking would take the system and subsystem activities of HEIs into consideration, and would constitute a starting point for further discussion when it comes to the development of the ranking for sustainability in HEIs in responding to the issue of holistic and integrated sustainability in Portuguese public HEIs.

- Tendências do mercado de trabalho: o que esperam as empresas das gerações Millennials e ZPublication . Filipe, Luís Pereira; Aleixo, Ana MartaO enfoque no sucesso profissional dos recém-diplomados e o papel das Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) para esse desígnio tem vindo a ganhar destaque devido às transformações ocorridas nas últimas décadas. Face ao exposto, é imperativo que as IES se esforcem para melhorar a empregabilidade dos seus diplomados, num esforço de correspondência entre as características das novas gerações e necessidades das empresas. Deste modo, e por forma a dar sequência a um primeiro estudo dirigido a empresas na área do turismo, pretende-se identificar as práticas de recrutamento e seleção e as competências transversais requeridas aos candidatos, por empresas das áreas das engenharias e serviços. Foi possível perceber que as empresas recorrem essencialmente à internet e às redes sociais para procurar os seus candidatos, que utilizam essencialmente o modelo Europass de CV, que se preocupam bastante com as competências e com a experiência profissional adquirida, e que consideram as competências transversais como tão importantes como as técnicas, com destaque para a aprendizagem, o trabalho de equipa e o comportamento ético, em detrimento da persuasão, da cultura geral e da liderança. Com estes dados é possível ajudar os diplomados a melhorarem a sua empregabilidade, levando-os a desenvolver ferramentas e estratégias adequadas, incentivando essencialmente a uma postura ativa de procura de oportunidades e de melhoria constante do seu percurso académico e profissional.

- UN decade of education for sustainable development: perceptions of higher education institution’s stakeholdersPublication . Aleixo, Ana Marta; Azeiteiro, Ulisses; Leal, SusanaThe purpose of this study is to investigate how the main stakeholders of Portuguese Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) perceive the commitment of HEIs related to: (a) teaching sustainable development Sustainable Development (SD) across all courses, (b) encouraging research and dissemination of SD knowledge, (c) implementing green campuses and supporting local sustainability efforts, and (d) engaging and sharing information with international networks (as defined in Higher Education Sustainability Initiative, United Nations). Through a qualitative approach (semi-structured interviews and content analysis), we explore the perspectives of twenty stakeholders from four Portuguese public HEIs (leaders, faculty, staff, students, and external stakeholders). The results show that all stakeholders see teaching SD across all courses as a necessity, but they have different visions about how to implement it. Concerning the research and dissemination of SD knowledge, they defend that both should be encouraged and transversal to all HEIs. About implementing green campuses and supporting local sustainability efforts, stakeholders agree that is important, but the practical results, in the Portuguese HEIs analysed, fail to achieve an acceptable degree. As a long term objective, the motivation for engaging and sharing information with international networks is latent.
